Dr.Byon , I had a 4 PM appointment with the doctor and he got to me at 12 with the time difference. I was able to get my prescription earlier and start the medication for that alone. I like to say thank you very much. He explained the medicine how to take it phone it into the pharmacy and my husband picked it up 2:30 in the afternoon. I'm feeling much better I could not have asked or hope for a better treatment.

The nurse and the doctor were very prompt in following up. I made a phone call and spoke to a nurse almost immediately. And the doctor called me back within an hour or two, and I was able to get my medication an hour or so after that. So the whole thing took maybe three hours, and I was treated for COVID, which is wonderful. So it was very prompt and very professional, and I appreciate it.

The only fault I can see was the six month wait for an appointment. The staff was very approachable and professional. No wait time to see the doctor. Dr Tim Byon was excellent— one of the best experiences I've had with a new provider. He was engaging when discussing my care, providing a future plan and my health goals. I feel very fortunate to have Dr Byon as a health care provider.

Southcoast Health physician profiles now feature star ratings. Below, you’ll find frequently asked questions about our process for calculating the ratings.

Why does Southcoast publish survey ratings online?
Southcoast is dedicated to providing patients and consumers with helpful information about the quality of our patients’ experiences. Star ratings published on our physician biography pages are based on actual responses from patients of that particular physician to patient satisfaction surveys that are distributed and processed by a national patient satisfaction survey vendor.

Who receives the survey?
Our vendor sends surveys via SMS or email to all patients seen in our outpatient physician practices who have a valid smart phone number or email address on file with Southcoast Health. Surveys are sent to patients within a few days of their appointment.

How is the Patient Satisfaction Star Rating Calculated?
Star ratings are calculated using an average of all survey responses to each of three questions: Courtesy and Respect of Staff, Provider Overall Rating, and Willingness to Recommend Provider’s Office. The star rating displayed on our physicians’ main biography page represents the average of the three measures for that particular physician.
